I'm Joshua Lee, a software engineer with more than 10 years of experience delivering full lifecycle product development—from architecture and development to testing and deployment with automated CI/CD. I excel at designing scalable frontend platforms and robust APIs, mentoring engineers, and driving performance, accessibility, and long-term maintainability across large React and Next.js ecosystems. I enjoy solving hard problems and learning new challenges. I’ve integrated AI-powered features using OpenAI and LangChain to surface automated insights, summaries, and recommendations directly in the UI, and I actively pursue AI-driven UX patterns, automated testing, and reliable observability to reduce incidents and optimize cloud costs.
